While speaking in Mumbi, India, Hillary had to defend why she lost. Rather than say something like, “I am tragically unlikable,” which would have been at least self-aware, she instead decided to share how she viewed America. Her comments make her “basket of deplorables” line look like pillow-talk. Pay attention, because this is exactly how the political elite view us:

“If you look at the map of the United States, there’s all that red in the middle where [President Donald] Trump won. I win the coasts, I win you know Illinois, Minnesota, places like that. But what the map doesn’t show you is that I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product. So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward, and his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again,’ was looking backwards. You know, you didn’t like black people getting rights. You didn’t like women y’know, getting jobs, you don’t want, y’know, see that Indian American succeeding more than you are, whatever your problem is, I’m gonna solve it. So it was a symptom but it was also a cause because having someone run for president who voices those ideas, who rejects so much of the American story and our values, was also the underlying cause as well.”

Translation: “I won the parts of America that counts. The rich part. The educated part. The rest of America is just backwards, racist scum.” They didn’t hate her because she is an elitist bitch. Nope. They hated her because they were stupid racists.

Thank God she lost. Thank God for Federalism! Without Federalism, this is exactly how it would be: win the coast, screw the rest.
